Hi all, |
| 2 |
this is my first message here, I did a quick search on google but I did |
| 3 |
not found the answers I'm looking for. |
| 4 |
I'm trying to setup (well, right now I am experimenting :) ) a 2 node |
| 5 |
cluster with drbd-shared storage using 64bit profile on 2 intel xeon |
| 6 |
servers. I've successfully setup drbd 8 in primary-primary using an lvm |
| 7 |
LV as drbd disk with ocfs2 (that's it, drbd over lvm). |
| 8 |
Now I'm trying to do the opposite, lvm over a drbd device, using drbd1 |
| 9 |
as a PV for a lvm VG. If I've understood the problem correctly I need |
| 10 |
clvm to manage active-active configuration to avoid metadata corruption |
| 11 |
when managing LVs. |
| 12 |
This shared PV is not the system PV I use for the node OS, it's on |
| 13 |
another disk that i plan to share directly via drbd. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What confuses me is the presence of sys-fs/clvm and sys-fs/lvm2 with |
| 16 |
clvm and cman use flags. |
| 17 |
I've installed sys-fs/lvm2-2.0.45, when trying to install clvm I get |
| 18 |
blockers (device-mapper and lvm2 itself). |
| 19 |
sys-fs/lvm2 clvm and cman use flags are profile masked on amd64 (but |
| 20 |
not on x86), why? |
| 21 |
Should I need to downgrade lvm2 and install clvm or do it's safe to try |
| 22 |
out unmasking those use flags by overriding the profile (I'm using |
| 23 |
paludis and already have a custom profile that inherit from |
| 24 |
amd64/2008.0/server)? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thanks in advance, |
| 27 |
